CARTON.

Applicatien led November 24, 1926. Serial No. 150,485.

This invention relates to cartons.

Objects of this invention are to provide a novel form of paper carton which is so constructed that it carries paper towels and soap impregnated paper sheets, commonly known as soap sheets, and in which a coverl is provided in theeform of a flap which normally wraps about the carton and closes the entrance slots leading to the towelling and the soap sheets.

Further objects are to provide .a very simple form of carton in which the towels and soap sheets are interfolded in two stacks and are arranged at right angles to each other so that they will mutually preventk shifting', and will avoid the necessit oftwo distinct pockets for thesestacks, t us permitting the use of a si le pocket with the assurance that the Xstdlcs will remain in their pro r position.

Anem odiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings in which:

Figure 1'` is a view of the device opened out flat with parts broken away to-more clearly show the construction;

Figure 2 is a view of the blank from which the carton i's formed;

Figure 3 is a lsectional view on the line 3-3 of Figure 1;

Figure 4 is a sectional view on the line Referring 'to 'Figures 1- and seen that the carton is formed from a blank which is divided by means of score or fold lines into a plurality of panels. As shown in these iigures, the blank is provided with a front panel 1, a rear panel 2, a reenforcing rear panel 3, and a coveriap or panel 4. f Further, the blank is provided with end panels 5 which are :folded inthe inished carton. The. front panel 1 is provided with'an elongated horizontal slot 6 and with a relatively shorter vertical slot 7. The slot 6 is positione `centrally of the front panel, whereas the lslot 7 is to the side of the slot (if p Two stacks of interfolded sheets are provided, one of such stacks being indicated by. reference character 8, and consisting o f interfolded towels; the other stack, indi.

2, a wiulbevvpanel -and side panels,

from Figure 1, that the 'two stacks abut each other, and extend at right angles with respect to Aeach other. This insures the cor-L rect positioning ofthe two stacks without forming two distinct compartments for their reception. Insteada singlecom artmentmay be formed, as indicated in ure 1, and may enclose both stacks of interolded sheets with assurance thatthe sheets will not shift, but Vwill lremain in their initial positions.

It is, of course,

ed to the panel 2, as shown in Figure 3 and that the end panels 5 are inturned glued or cemented in lace. Thereafter, the cover Hap 4 maybe olded downwardly over. the carton, as shown in dotted lines in Figure 3 to thus completely close the carton somewhat in the nature of an evvelope. l l

It is apparent carried by most ease, as they may be packed flat and as they will not take up much room. Further, the cover flap com letely protects ,the exposed ends of the s eets and prevents soilin even of these exposed sheets.

Alt ough the inventon has been described in considerable detail, Asuch description is intended as illustrativev rather-f than limiting as the invention may be variously embodied and as the scope of such invention is to be determined as claimed.

A carton comprisinga front and rear a cover flap carried by said rear panel and adapted to be wrapped vdownwardly over said front panel, said'front panel having an elon ated slit extendingpart-way across, and aving a transverse slit spaced from the end of said first mentioned slit, and a pair of stacks that these cartons cali be d of interfolded sheets positioned behind to be understood that c the reenforcing panel 3 is glued or cementtourists or campers with the ut- 2.
